The bishops of Switzerland said the country’s ban on minarets, the Muslim prayer towers, represents an obstacle to interreligious harmony.
The ban aggravates interfaith tensions and could have negative repercussions on Christian minorities in Muslim countries. The prohibition was adopted by Swiss voters in a referendum that passed with a 58 percent majority.

how is the building of christian or catholic worship places or churches in the Muslim countries? So they don’t really believe in religious freedom but has maybe other alteriat motives. As long as they don’t change things at home they cannot impose. Or for each building abroad one christian must be build in their country. Does it sound crazy? they need to integrate and not impose.
